switchdesk is DEAD
I once used switchdesk to switch to KDE but no more
On the login page at the lower left is an icon to allow the choice of desktop manager
KDE GNOME ....

Can't one just edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop ,

It should, but that file has to be created in F8, is not there in my box.
the switchdesk is an optional package. I find is the quickest way
to change your desktop at the CLI -no file editing.

How do you do it using CLI?
Install the switchdesk package, then change the desktop.
$ sudo yum install switchdesk
$ switchdesk KDE
that's it.
you can use your Fedora CD to install if you don't want to use yum.
I'm running F8, and I figure F9 should be no different.
~af
It is different, and the above does not work. It certainly worked in F8.

The problem you have is that KDE is not installed. I purchased a Fedora
9 Bible book which contained two Fedora 9 installation CD's, one
installation did not contain KDE so I was not able to switch but the
second CD contained Fedora 9 KDE. Problem solved. You need to install
the KDE version of Fedora 9.
